Nike Cross Nationals Midwest Regional 2012

TERRE HAUTE – Scott Milling admitted it.  While every Kroy (York HS, IL) cross-country club has high expectations as part of its DNA, last year’s entry at Nike Cross Nationals Midwest was no sure bet to make it to Portland and extend the program’s streak to eight.  So when Milling and Co. learned they were second, even if it was a distant second behind Columbus Thorn (Columbus North HS, IN), it was cause for celebration.

Carmel High School competed this past weekend as the Carmel Distance Alliance in the Nike Cross Nationals Mid-West Regional Meet at LaVerne Gibson Course in Terre Haute, site of the ISHAA State Championship two weeks ago.

TERRE HAUTE – Nike Cross National regional titles are often won well beyond the leaders and deep in the packs following.  On a day that was dry and mild, but with ferocious 25-30 mph winds, the 2012 NXN Midwest Championships – for the most part – were no exception.  (Photo by Ken Moreland)
